Original one-of-a-kind Halloween art is
available for purchase on a first come, first
served basis from the EHAG artist group.

Easter Celebrations

A favorite Easter tradition in the VALERIOTE household
is the annual Confetti Egg Smash. An event where hallowed
out, confetti filled eggs are broken over the heads of family,
friends and at times innocent bystanders. There is always
excitement in the weeks leading up to Easter as we begin
to collect hallowed eggs during meal preparation. The
competition is fierce as we wait to see who will bring the
largest basket filled with eggs and who will end up being
covered in the most confetti as the final egg bursts.
Guaranteed to fill your home laughter and your yard with
more confetti than a ticker tape parade.

CONFETTI EGGS
Use the back end of a spoon to crack open the top of an egg.
• • • •
Drain egg into a bowl.
• • • •
Rinse out hallowed egg shell and air dry.
• • • •
Dye, paint or cover eggs with tissue paper with water diluted glue.
Throw in a Halloween patterned egg just for fun!
• • • •
Air dry eggs completely.
• • • •
Fill eggs with confetti, money, fortunes, small toys, etc.
• • • •
Cut a piece of tissue paper slightly larger in size than the
egg's hole. Run a glue stick around the edges of the hole
and over one side of the paper; seal the hole by pressing
the paper firmly over the opening. Air dry.
Let the fun begin!

Calling all Angels

Producing an army of bald headed angels
was not on my to-do list for the week but
somehow managed to trump all plans of
painting my long neglected gang of ghoulies.
Sometimes sculpting is a chore, a necessary
part of business. Other times it is a joy,
bringing me comfort in uncertain times.
I am happy to have indulged in the detour
and released these little chubby cherubs
from the swirling confines of my imagination.
I can now move on to my original plan of
tending to the other restless characters that have
been residing on my desk for far too long.

Cliffhanger

Finding myself on the precipice of a precarious
path. Not exactly a difficult dilemma but a
situation where difficult decisions must
be made in a very timely manor. My Crystal
Ball is foggy and my Magic 8 Ball is stuck
in a continuous loop of "cannot predict now."
Time to locate that internal compass and
head for that horizon.

Critical Path

Only 6 weeks remain until the house is crawling
with miniature rapscallions clamoring for attention.
Six weeks until summer distractions become
priority number one and business plans, schedules
and soon to be fleshed out sketches collect dust
in the corner. It's time to get crackin!

Spring into action

Started this piece well over a year ago.
I'm happy to say that Large Lolli Lou is
finally complete and ready for his close up.
